This was the best meal I had during my entire time in London. Incredibly flavorful, great portion size, and overall top-class service. My server, Nayem was incredibly hospitable and welcoming. Also appreciated him treating me to lassie at the end of the meal (my favorite drink). Will definitely be coming back!
Nayem took care of us and made this a beautiful experience. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. Food came out very quickly and was super hot! I can’t recommend this place enough. Cheers Nayem , thank you for the refresher after our meal as well. If you enjoy authentic Indian cuisine , you better come here
The service, the food, and the atmosphere were incredible. We felt like we were welcomed into a family home while enjoying the wonderful here. Nayem was our server and he took care of our every need. He made excellent food recommendations and helped us navigate the robust menu. To say we were pleased was an understatement. We look forward to our next visit.
This restaurant was an excellent choice for my wife and I. On our first day of vacation in London, we got ourselves a great treat! Having tried their food was a pleasure. To complement their food; Nayeem Rahman was a gracious host! This restaurant got both excellent service and superb entree cuisine choices. No wonder they got the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards Winner! More power to your wonderful service!
Excellent, well spiced Indian food. Freshly prepared. Excellent service by Halim tonight. I especially loved the lamb biryani and the delicious naan breads. The only small drawback is that the tables are so tightly spaced together.
Best butter chicken I’ve ever had! Nayem, our server, was so sweet and made sure we had the best experience. The food was amazing and will definitely be coming back!
Nayem was our waiter. He was excellent and very kind and helpful with his recommendations. The food was out of this world and the service was excellent. We got our food pretty quickly. We had the chana masala, the original masala, the tandoori chicken, the lamb curry, the garlic naan and the rubi chicken. Highly recommend 5/5 stars!
Halim was the best most attentive server you could ask for. The food was incredible, the atmosphere is amazing, they greet you so warmly. It’s my favourite place to go to ever - best Indian in London hands down. Thank you Halim ! 5 stars !
